Heal Your Liver with Bone Broth

Having a sick liver slows you down, and makes protein hard to process. Here’s how you can heal your liver with bone broth. If you are having high liver enzymes, swelling, jaundice, fatigue, nausea, and body aches – you need some nourishment. Not getting the nutrition you need leads to hepatic encephalopathy, or brain fog. The easiest thing to do is cook a pot of soup. With a protein that heals every cell in your body, and is easy on your liver, it will have you feeling better in no time. You can use a special ingredient to heal your liver with bone broth.

Directions

If you like, add a cut up chicken breast or some beef stew pieces for more flavor and protein. Next, I chop all the vegetables into a large pot or pan. You can also use a crock pot if you’re not in the mood to babysit the level of liquid all day. Buy the little bags of carrots and the little microwave potatoes found in the produce section to make it simple. Cover it with broth, sprinkle some herbs, and let it simmer. Soon you’ll sip some soup that will heal your liver with bone broth and veggies.

A trick I use a lot is to buy bone broth. It is a little more expensive, but has collagen and I feel like it is a short cut to cellular healing.

If the broth does not cover the veggies, add enough water or additional liquid to cover it, plus an inch or two.

I crank the stove up and bring it to a rolling boil. Then I reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 1 ½ hours on the stove top. In the crock pot, put it on high and let it go all day if you want.

Make it easy on yourself

Many people make their own bone broth. For years, stopping by the butcher for bones was easy. They were practically a giveaway. Now that it has become a popular way to find nutrition – it is not easy to find cheap bones. I have friends who cook them on the stove top, and others do an overnight oven method. My grandma cooked the carcass of the turkey overnight and saved the broth in jars. Smart lady.

Me? I watch for sales at the grocery store.

It’s a perfect time of year for a nice pot of soup. The house will smell wonderful. Your body will be nourished, and don’t forget the leftovers. YES! If you get bored with it after the second day, freeze it in a zipper type bag. All that leftover turkey just found a good use.  I love you more. Xoxo Karen
